How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds - Page 31 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lower, lower Go down another 1"-2". Thats just my $.02.

Richard D · 07-03-2008, 02:30 PM

I sure wouldn't raise it. I think they look best with just a slight rake; where the distance from the top of the wheel to the fender lip is the same front and rear.

jchav62 · 07-03-2008, 04:04 PM

I say leave it. That slight rake looks good...

86swb · 07-04-2008, 12:51 PM

Would love to see more pictures of your truck Scottrod.

86swb · 07-05-2008, 02:16 PM

The front drop is 3" Bell Tech spindles w/1 coil cut from the original sbc V8 springs & relocated upper shock mounts.

The rear has the HD spring option (8-leaf spring pack) w/a Western Chassis flip kit (for 6" drop) plus Bell Tech drop shackles. I've added Western Chassis c-sections w/home-made air-over-leaf brackets & a couple of small dbl convoluted bags for leveling the truck when I want to still use it as a truck.

In the pics, front wheel/tire combo is 20x8.5 w/5.25"BS & 255-40/20's. The rear is 20x10 w/5.50"BS & 295-40/20's.

It looks sweet but the drop combined w/the tall front tires did not work well. I can't get my knuckles in between the top of the tires & the wheel well & it was very apparent on the short drive I took it on this weekend. I swapped my ralleys back on for now.

SCOTTROD · 07-08-2008, 12:22 PM

Man, I like that truck with the coys on it.

heh. i haven't heard "deadly" for a lot of years. i'm going to try and work it back into my vocabulary, it's a classic.

awesome trucks in here fellas.

Richard D · 07-08-2008, 11:12 AM

I agree, that one sits about perfect. I like how the space between the rim and fender is the same front to back.

gafiredog · 07-10-2008, 06:54 PM

lol it has wiper blades and taillights now. That picture was taken right when we brought it home from picking up the bed from the paint booth. The lighting doesn't do the paint justice either I need to get a picture of it in the sunlight.

Rodms · 07-26-2008, 01:18 AM

I'm new on here but anyone know where you get fiber hood or front cap?

that how mine was, also no seat belts, no windows, and bunch over stuff wasn't on it. My truck need the right light for the pearl to pop, only bright sun light or fluorescent light, heres my truck when it left the paint shop

watahyahknow · 07-23-2008, 05:03 AM
